    Hello,
    I am sorry for this question because it probably asked many time already.
    If I have one website already online, before to transfert the website to an other server, somethimes it's usefull to test the webiste.
    Ispconfig can give Temporary URL to access one website, but I am confusing with what I have to do !
    System -> Server Config -> Web -> Website auto alias
    I added in the filed : [website_id]
    Then http:/my-vps.hosting.net:8080/web3/ return 404 not found
    After I tried http:/my-vps.hosting.net:8080/client0/web3/ return 404 not found
    After I tried http:/my-vps.hosting.net:8080/clients/client0/web3/ return 404 not found
    Which Url should I use ? (with the seeting above)
    Thanks

    The [website_id] is a placeholder. So you have to enter into the field something like: web[website_id].yourdomain.com
    Then you have to make a * A / AAAA record in your DNS (*.yourdomain.com) pointing to the server. So you can call web3.yourdomain.com afterwards. Remember that you might have to recreate the web once you change the website autoalias to have it be created.

    We cannot use this above ?
    To make http://my-vps.com:8080/[website_id]

    Why client99.my-vps.com ?
    System -> Server Config -> Web -> Website auto alias (we can use it ? right ?)
    Said : Website auto alias : [website_id]
    Why you are saying [client_id] client99.my-vps.com ?

    http:/[website_id].my-vps.hosting.net:8080 return 404 not found

    I have not used this feature, so I have no first hand knowledge. I am just referring to what the manual says.

    400 pages good luck, on my side as a beginner I dismiss on this specific point.
    Maybe @till knows how to use my screenshot ?

    The domain part is missing. you have to use something like:

    web[website_id].yourdomain.tld

    this will add an alias for e.g. web123.yourdomain.tld to the site so that you can use e.g. http://web123.yourdomain.tld to access the site. But personally I always use the hosts file approach that taleman mentioned in #3 as using other aliasdomains will probably fail with most cms systems and also rewrite rules might give wrong results when working with a alias, so better use /etc/hosts wherever possible.
